Explores Microsoft’s Applied Skills credential program and the learning path for implementing a data science and ML solution with Microsoft Fabric, including setting up a Microsoft Learn profile, locating credential offerings, and following the guided scenario using Fabric’s Lakehouse, Notebooks, and MLflow integration. Linda Larkan will provide demonstrations highlighting the workflow from data ingestion to model training and prediction.

What can Microsoft 365 Copilot really do? In this fast-paced, uniquely irreverent session, we’ll walk through 30 real-world tasks Copilot can help you tackle—from rewriting emails and summarizing chats to building agents and securing your content. Each “line” is a practical use case designed to spark ideas, conversation, and maybe a little envy from your less AI-enabled colleagues. Expect a whirlwind tour of productivity magic across Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Notebooks, SharePoint, and more. We’ll cover how Copilot can:

• Coach your writing and automate your workflows
• Summarize meetings and analyze transcripts
• Brainstorm content and create presentations
• Build repeatable agents with embedded knowledge
• And yes, we’ll do it all in 1 minute per line. 30 minutes. Who are we kidding, no. We won't. It'll take longer than that.

Whether you're Copilot-curious or already deep in prompt engineering, this session will leave you inspired, informed, and maybe just a little amused.

Join me for a session on mastering orchestration within Microsoft Fabric. Discover best practices for scheduling and managing your data workflows. We will be talking about native schedulers for items like semantic models, dataflows, notebooks, etc, and why using only these can bring you into specific issues that can be handled more elegantly and efficiently. Explore how to effectively schedule components with multiple dependencies like pipelines and notebooks while addressing common challenges such as dependency control and parametrization. Learn why pipelines are great for managing complex workflows, offering superior control over dependencies and execution. Finally, dive into the power of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) in tools like Apache Airflow and see how they excel at orchestrating notebooks and why this is a crucial part of orchestration in the Microsoft Fabric ecosystem. Whether you’re building pipelines and notebooks or preparing complex reporting solutions with dependencies between semantic models or between Fabric items, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to achieve efficient and scalable orchestration in Microsoft Fabric.
